Lyrics

Sometimes, between long shadows on the grass
The little truant waves of sunlight pass
My eyes grow dim with tenderness, the while
Thinking I see thee smile

And sometimes, in the twilight gloom, apart
The tall trees whisper, whisper heart to heart
From my fond lips the eager answers fall
Thinking I hear thee call
